April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberCan this sympathy Tom's trying to make us feel for Flora be any more artificial? It's so easy to just write a "meen" character when you need insta-drama

BlockedI can see why people think it's a forced drama/artificial&unnecessary but I think it could be viewed more as mild world-building, just showing how the free keidran view the ones who've been enslaved, though for that point to have been displayed using a main character wasn't really necessary.

MemberSpoken like someone who's developed a defensive attitude towards all the out-group shaming they've experienced in their life by generating a callous, 'fuck them' wall to put up instead of confronting that fact that the scorn of perceived peers, no matter how trivial, is one of the most hurtful things in the world.

MemberAh yes, personal attacks. Always a valid defense against accusations of mediocre writing.
